interests of the business men of that village. Meeting with good success he again increased the capacity of the office in March, 1878, and commenced the publication of the Windsor Gazette, a weekly paper, devoted to the general interests of the tow
n of Windsor and vicinity, and giving the local and current news of the day. It was a small paper, printed upon a job press, but notwithstanding the lack of a good press it was a neat publication typographically, showing that Mr. Warden had, from the outs
et, ideas of neatness in the press and " make up " of his paper. In 1879 his business had increased and demanded an enlargement of the Gazette, and additional material and presses. He then fitted up the office with a cylinder power press, enlarged
the paper to its present size, increased his energy and, industry, made a lively, spicy, readable paper, and increased the circulation, until now at the present writing, he is issuing 1,000 copies of the Gazette, which goes into and gladdens the ho
mes of many in Shelby and Moultrie counties. Mr. Warden is yet young, and, comparatively, entering upon the threshold of journalistic experience, but if he perseveres, and falters not, nor loiters by the wayside of life gathering pleasure in its many evan
escent shapes, nor turns aside to seek riches in other avenues, we predict for him a bright and honorable career in journalism. Adaptability and talent for a chosen profession, united with energy and industry cannot fail to win. It is with pleasure that w
e here append these few words in a brief biographical sketch of one of Windsor's young, and energetic citizens, and trust that our estimate of him may not fall short; we believe that it will not.
